I love the way Broder writes about Rachel’s ED, I felt like i was in her head. The conversation about the occupation of Palestine was also really interesting.

This book was so •for me•, I felt it had the exact same reflections and pattern recognitions as I do.
It is not a book for most people, in fact, I’d expect most people to find it gross, meaningless, cringe (?). But oh did I enjoy being so seen by a woman I’ll never know.

Not my type of book, I don’t really understand the point of it. I listened to the audiobook that the author reads, and I don’t think she was a very good reader so that made it worse.

I ended up liking it in the end but as a fat woman I was nervous for a little bit. Also one of the characters is named Miriam. I was listening to it on 1.5 so sped up it sounds like Mirielle (my name) which is wild to me because I never totally understood how people could get those names mixed up. But I definitely understand now!!! I just keep thinking they are talking about or to me 😂😂😂

Don't go in blind like I did, take a good look at the warnings and know that they are there for a reason.
The beginning of the book felt, at times, like reading an early 2010s Tumblr user's ed blog, calorie diary and all. This is of course only the starting point for some... interesting developments... but it's pretty intense nevertheless. Once you get through that, you're in for the WLW romance, mommy issues, and an interesting perspective on navigating queerness and politics from within an Orthodox Jewish family environment.
Physically I was on a train while listening, but emotionally I was on a rollercoaster.
